Integration: Access the Trakstar Hire API

The Trakstar Hire API allows you to integrate external applications with your Trakstar Hire account. Common use cases include building a custom career site, accessing hiring data, or integrating Trakstar Hire with other business systems.

Important: The API is fully self-service. While the Trakstar Hire Support team can answer general questions, your organization is responsible for designing, building, maintaining, and supporting your API implementation.

What You Can Do with the API

The Trakstar Hire API provides programmatic access to shared resources within your account.

Using the API, you can:

• Build a custom careers site.
• Access openings and candidate data.
• Send information to Trakstar Hire from another application.
• Export Trakstar Hire data to external systems.
• Create custom integrations tailored to your organization's workflows.

The API follows REST best practices and supports standard features such as predictable responses, pagination, filtering, and parameterized requests. Complete endpoint documentation is available in the Trakstar Hire API technical documentation.

Before You Begin

Before generating an API key, make sure you have:

• A Trakstar Hire account.
• Super Admin access.
• A software developer or technical resource to build and maintain the integration.
• Access to the Trakstar Hire API technical documentation.

Generate an API Key

1. Sign in to Trakstar Hire as a Super Admin.

2. Navigate to Settings > Advanced Settings > API Key.

   

3. Click Generate API Key.

   

4. Copy the generated API key and store it securely.

   

5. Provide the API key to your development team for use with the Trakstar Hire API.

Once generated, you can return to Settings > Advanced Settings > API Key at any time to view or copy your existing API key.

Important Migration Note

If you have an existing integration that references the legacy Recruiterbox domain, update your API endpoints to use the current Trakstar Hire domain.

Replace:

https://companyname.recruiterbox.com/api/v1/users

With:

https://companyname.hire.trakstar.com/api/v1/users

Update any hardcoded API URLs in your integration before making future API requests.

Next Steps

After generating your API key:

1. Review the Trakstar Hire API technical documentation.
2. Share the API key with your development team.
3. Design and implement your integration based on your organization's requirements.
4. Test your integration before deploying it to production.

Support

The Trakstar Hire Support team can answer general questions about accessing the API.

Support does not provide implementation, custom development, or ongoing maintenance for API integrations. Those responsibilities remain with your organization or development partner.
